I am running Windows 7 Professional Connected to an HP Laserjet 1020. I am trying to share this printer with network printers as of now file sharing works seamlessly on vista, and other windows 7 machines.
On windows 7 machine an error pops up when trying to connect to printer
On vista machine printer is connected however when jobs are sent to the printer it sits in the queue until restart.
I have an HP Laserjet 2300 Series PCL6 printer connected directly to a Windows XP machine. On the same network, I have a new machine running Windows 7. I want to share the printer over the network.
Question: Am I wasting my time trying to get this to work?
FYI, Windows 7 sees the shared printer but when it attempts to connect in the "Add a Printer" dialog, it gives me a "No driver found" alert. I downloaded the (hopefully) appropriate Windows 7 printer driver (*) from the HP site and installed it on my Windows 7 machine, but when I try to connect, I still get "No driver found."
(*) HP Universal Print Driver for Windows PCL5 x64
I just updated my desktop pc to windows seven and having a trouble printing with a usb hp laserjet1020
I get the printer shared and connected. send a page to print. and the page shows up in the printer que and just sits there until i restart the computer. and have to restart each time i need to print. or till i turn off the printer and disconnect the usb and reconnect and power it back up
it prints fine from the computer the usb printer is connected too.
just wont print the shared laptops. on is vista and the other is windows seven connected to homeshare.
I've got installed windows 7 on both pc and netbook computers. On PC it's 7057 64bit and on netbook it's 7022 32bit.
On PC I installed the HP LaserJet 1020 USB printer and it works perfectly. Then I tried to share this printer to netbook. I did check the "Share this printer", entered the name of share "hp1020" also installed additional drivers for x86 and after that hp1020 is visible on netbook but when i want to connect/install this printer on board this message appears:
"Connect to Printer"
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. The print processor does not exist"
Completely don't know what to do? Sharing is working with folders.
I found the button "rint processor" in printers properties advanced tab and ZIMFPrint (IMF) is checked there.
I am using Windows 7 and when i plug the printer in , it just adds it to the "Unspecified" devices list.I downloaded the drivers , ran them in Vista compatibility mode , and it gets to this "EZ installer" part and then it just says something like make sure that the device is visible or something and then it repeats the same thing after like a half a minute and then it says that the operation has failed.I tried removing the "unspecified device" from device manager and then running the driver installation again but then windows tries automaticly to install it on its own but it fails saying that the driver was not found and at the same point the Ez installer freezes up.
I havea new Acer aspire 5950 laptop. I try to connect it with hp laserjet 1020. Acer try to solve the problem and finds tne drivers from the page of Hp. In the middle of installation it stops it and says only Acer stop driver installation..
I have three HP Model 1020 laser printers. Windows 7 does not like the printer and intermittently "loses" the printer such that I must uninstall and reinstall the printer to clear the spooler. Yes, I downloaded the latest drivers, and it still haunts me. Any suggestions?
Running Windows 7 32-bit with a laserjet 1020, printer stopped working. Uninstalled - reinstalled with original install disk. Re-re-installed with updated drivers. Changed printer cable. Tried uninstalling then reinstalling a different laserjet 1020 (ie different printer - same model). would not print. If I try to print - the job goes to the queue, and sits there - because 'work offline' has somehow become checked. un-checking 'work off-line' causes an error running troubleshoot fixes the error by removing the job from the queue and re-checking 'work off-line'. in each case there are files windows designates as 'shockwave flash objects' (I'm guessing the designation is incorrect and these are actually the print jobs). Shutting down the spooler.
Used USB to connect to new Dell Lattitude E5530. Have the latest HP driver, Devices & Printers detected printer when added but keep getting error message "Unable to connect with printer" from MS Word when i want to print. Did the plugging in and out, restarting both.
I have an HP Color Laserjet 2820 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier attached to my PC. My PC is a Dell 1545 laptop running 64-bit Windows 7. I can print and scan on the printer using the software on my computer.My wife has a Compaq 615 laptop running 32-bit Windows 7. We share a home wireless network. She can print to the 2820 printer wirelessly, but not scan: the scan options do not appear in her driver software, when she is connected wirelessly.If she picks up her computer, crosses the room with it, and plugs the printer USB cable into the side of her Compaq laptop, then opens the printer software, the scan options are available and she can scan direct to her PC.Can we arrange it so that she can use the scanner functions wirelessly?
I have an old HP Server that I use at home it has XP 32bit loaded on it & shares across the network an "HP Laserjet 1220" printer, i have just installed Windows 7 on my gaming PC & laptop both 64bit versions, both of these machines are unable to connect to the shared printer, they can see it on the network but have trouble loading the drivers.
This printer does not need drivers for XP, Vista, Win7, if I connect the printer directly to my gaming pc running 64bit 7, drivers are installed automatically, same with the laptop, and print with no problems. When i try & connect to the printer over the network to the HP 32bit xp server the 64bit 7 machines come up with a box saying 'loading driver, then 'connecting to windows update', then 'error no driver found', even after having the printer drivers installed & working when machine was connected directly to printer by parallel & USB.
I then installed 32bit 7 on a spare PC i had around, shared printer on this PC via parallel & this worked fine, the 64bit machines connected & worked great. I then plugged the printer back into the 32bit xp server & tried to connect printer on 64bit 7 machines again, the 64bit laptop connected loaded drivers & straight away & worked ok, jumped onto my gaming PC to repeat the process but failed & come with with the same error from the beginning 'Loading drivers, connecting to windows update this may take some time, error driver not found.
It then asks me to enter correct drivers, but drivers for Vista 32or64bit & 7 32or64bit are not at the HP website for this printer, as the drivers are part of the XP, Vista & 7 CD/DVD. I don't know why the laptop is working & my PC is not, both have a clean build of Windows 7 64bit, looks as if the xp 32bit server is handing out 32bit drivers over the network to the 2 windows 7 64bit machines, even though both 7 machines have the correct drivers already installed. Also tried to connect via 'start..run...then PCNAMEPRINTERNAME, just comes up with error connecting to printer.
I have a wireless home network. DLink Router. Desktop PC, Windows 7, (64 bit) . Notebook, Vista, (32 bit). Epson Stylus C66, USB connection to Desktop. Trying to set up printer sharing for the notebook. On the desktop, keep running into error code 0x000006d9. I've Googled this problem and followed possible solutions, disabling firewalls, etc., no avail.
ISSUE: Trying to print to a printer with it's drivers installed on an XP computer.I have 6 computers running (not all the time), 3 laptops and 3 desktops. I'll number them for ease of ID.1. Dell Laptop running W2K. Hardwired.2. Gateway Laptop running XP. Wireless.3. HP Laptop running W7 Ultimate. Wireless.4. Desktop ATX running XP similar to a server where I keep the big apps, printer drivers and backups, not used for web surfing. Hardwired.5. Dell 1100 desktop running XP used mostly for surfing and downloads. If I get a virus I just reformat and reload XP. Hardwired.6. Compaq desktop running XP. Hardwired.When I use Window Explorer to look at all the computers on my home LAN, I get the following.Systems: 1, 2, 5 and 6, see all 6 systems, one being itself.System: 4 with the printer drivers sees the other five, but not itself.System: 3 sees 1, 2, 3 (itself), 5 and 6. Does not see #4. On this #4 I have three printers' drivers installed.I can print from 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 to any of the three printers. But not from #3 which is running W7. I tried adding printer and driver as per plethora of instructions on the web without success. But since it does not see system #4, the printers are not available to choose.
I've spent the last day running in circles trying to find a simple solution. I have two Win 7 machines located a few hundred miles apart. I currently have computer A (Local) connecting to computer B (remote) via UltraVNC. This works perfect except, when printing documents, I need to print to my local printer, which means on my remote machine I need to add a printer that is physically here locally. I've looked at IIS, IPP, Google Cloud drive, another service which costs. I think IPP could be the answer, but I can't find any step-by-step style of instructions out there. I have a limited understanding of this stuff, so really looking for a detailed solution.
Well i used to not have a problem when all the machines were XP but now when i try and add the printer its saying that i dont have the correct driver installed on the main PC when im trying to add the shared printer on my XP machine.
I want to share a printer with another wired computer on my home network. Sorry haven't a clue and didn't find anything with the search except broad examples. Is there a tutorial. It would be from a Windows 7 machine on a wireless router to a W8 machine wired in.
In my office there are 2 desktop (Windows 7 & XP) computers and 2 laptops (Windows 7 & XP). These computers are connected to BSNL wifi router (ADSL) which has intermittent internet connection. I have also installed 2 printers on the desktop computers, one being deskjet (Windows 7) and the other laser (XP comp). On the XP system (desktop) i've enabled printer sharing.
PS: desktop computers are connected by RJ-45 and laptops by WiFi Issue :
successfully configured other PC for printer sharing. Now the issue is as i said earlier due to intermittent internet connection remaining 3 computers are unable to print laser printer when the net is down however it works fine.
What can be done..?? Also on the XP sys (desktop) i would also like to enable a particular folder to be shared.
i cannot seem to get my Printer sharing ( Using HP PSC 1610 ALL-IN-ONE). My printer is connected through usb on windows xp 32bit and want to share printer on windows 7 x64bit windows vista x32bit.
Ive set up the sharing part on xp and windows 7 side, but i cannot seem to connect it. The problem may be that whenever i click on x64 driver to install ( I click sharing in my printer (HP PSC 1610 ALL-IN-ONE ) and click additional Drivers and tick x64 and click next it prompts me to install the driver using a cd..ive tried windows vista 32bit windows xp 32bit windows 7 x64 bit..no luck).
So i try moving the printer on windows 7. It installs the drivers x64bit one, The version is HP PSC 1600 SERIES VERSION 6.1.7600.16385 installed on 64bit as it says in Administrative Tools > Print Management > Printer servers > Comp name( Local) > Drivers and it says x64 and if i wanna add a driver it still ask me for a cd when i tick x32bit driver.
Ive tried so many methods to connect my printer over lan..Local port etc nothing works.
Can someone give me instructions on how to fix this so i can share printer over my network.
This is the part i get stuck on..when i click on x86 or x64 it ask for driver..so if my printer was ocnnected to windows 7 x64 bit i needed to install x86 so it would work on xp and Vice versa
Basically I'm trying to share a hp psc 1215 printer on my windows xp machine with my windows 7 machine.
The printer uses usb and is plugged in to the xp machine which is connected to a router my 7 machine connects to it witlessly and so far the 7 machine can use it and send print jobs to it. But the problem i encounter is i cant access the printer preferences and so can not change paper size or any other features from my 7 machine. Every time i go to open them from the device and printer panel the window appears and then goes again. Can anyone help me find a solution.
Well here is my issue I have a XP computer that is hooked up with the Printer but I have it set it for to be shared already. When I go to "ADD PRINTER" and i hit the button saying "ADD NETWORK, WIRELESS, BLUETOOTH PRINTER" it searches and searches but it nevers finds it but when I had vista I had no issues finding it. We are on the same network and workgroup.
I am connected by wireless and the XP computer is connect via wired. What can be causing this because I am completely stumped about this because I am trying to figure out how to print stuff though a network printer. Another thing is I can not find any other computer on the network tab.
I want to share my MP540 printer on a PC with Windows 7 Home x32 to use it on my other PC with a Windows 7 Pro x64.
The printer seems shared fine on Home x32 but I couldn't able to install it (nothing found when Pro x64 PC try to browse a shared printer on the network).
My network setup has nothing special. A simple router and it's done. Earlier (when both machine has XP x32, there weren't any problem (just clicked on the printer to share, and voila, the other PC found it, no need to change/click/setup etc. anything...
I found an option window on x32 to install some drivers (?) (where you can tick a "x64 ....blabla") but it needs some install disk (maybe .nfo files?) for the printer.
I have move the printer to my x64 PC, plug in it, and install went fine. So, both machine probably has the appropriate drivers...
I just reformatted my desktop with 7 and I wanted to share the attached HP PSC2355 wirelessly to my Vista lappy. I had this connected and functioning previously when the desktop was running XP but now I cant seem to get my lappy to connect to the 'home-group' to find the printer. I found some other posts of sharing a printer on a vista machine over to 7 but not from 7 over to vista. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My printer is attached via USB. I can get my printer installed in both Windows 7 and XP mode. In XP mode it shows as shared in USB devices. However, it is online in Windows 7 and can be used, but offline in XP mode. If I click Attach it will work in XP mode, but then shows as offline in Windows 7 and can't be used. Integration features the Printers box is check, as well as enable at startup.
Is it possible to use the printer on both machines without havind to attach and unattach it?
I just bought a Dell Inspiron 4010, 64 bit with Windows 7 Ultimate as the OS. The HP 3015 Laserjet is connected via a XP machine (old one). I have downloaded the drivers from the HP site. The printer shows on the network but am not able to print from the machine. Am at my wits end trying to figure out how to work this one out.
I have an old HP laserjet, with parallel socket, and have just bought a new computer with only USB sockets. Bought a suitable lead, RS232 to USB, and initially the printer worked OK, but intermittently
I had trouble finding how to get my HP Laserjet 4 printer to work in Windows 7.
My research indicates it would run in Vista using built in drivers, but I didn't have or use Vista. I also tried driversguide, and HP site just says "supported"
When I used one of the available earleir drivers I always get the error message:
"W2 INVALID PERS"
OK Solved it now. Lots of drivers in a package for HP laserjets. Go to the Windows Update page and download the package; here: Microsoft Update Catalog
